Title: Have anyone seen this before?
Post by: tonguello on April 27, 2011, 01:54:22
I was going through a guy's facebook page and he has a folder with art box pic. And I founf something I have NEVER seen before. Look!

Have you seen that kind of pencil drawing background? What set is that box from??? I love it!

By the way this is supposed to be the back of the box, not the front. Like back then when boxes had dioramas at the backside.  :-\

There are a lot of people who make custom boxes. I have no idea who made this particular one, it is a nice job but very un-playmobil

Hm, that is beautiful! I wonder if it's a real playmobil box?

well it looks real but could be a custom. I asked this guy, I know him but hasn't answered yet.

This is definitely NOT an original box by playmobil, not a back nor a front cover... just a nice custom... one of many!

BTW, here is another custom box made by a German satirical magazine. A really nice idea concerning the problems of unemployment... it's one of my favourites

Yes, I remember that one also!

The custom boxes can really throw you off sometimes, but are so funny to see! I like how the passed out pirate is being carried to the rowboat,.....classic!

Even 8 years later this box is still very relevant  :lol:. Thanks for reminding us of a classic custom box, I like it a lot as well  :clap:

Two excellent custom boxes there.  As Ras says, the second is still very relevant.

the first one is obviously not a custom, but it's very well done, i love it :)

it reminds me the custom boxes that a member from here used to make with small Napoleonic armies in Egypt :love:

PS i don't like it when non-PM fans make 'custom' boxes to reflect problems of real life like protests and stuff (I'm not saying it's a bad thing, they completely entittled to, I just find them boring :P )

Why do you think that is no custom?  :hmm:

You could see, the picture is 1. not in the typical playmobil style, 2. is glued or layed over a blue box (see top left), 3. the quality of the photo is not studio-like (like playmobil does): it's not sharp, the light is not good enough for studio qualitiy an so on...

It's not ORIGINAL.
It's a CUSTOM.

Its 100% custom. As I explained before one of the klickies is a custom based on the special viking version 2 and the otehr is a pirate from a pirate set from the early 90s..... why dont you believe me...  :lol: :lol: :lol:

I your first post, Luis, you said it's obviously not a custom, but I'm sure it was just a typo. I would know about that. I left the word "not" out of a message the other day and it was very embarrassing! :-[
